Campanulas are loved for their bell-like, usually blue flowers and long flowering season. Traditionally used in cottage garden schemes, campanulas look particularly lovely when grown under shrub roses. Campanula blooms are extremely attractive to bees and other pollinators.
Campanula 'Sarastro' is a hybrid campanula. Plants form a mound of dark green leaves, from which upright stems of huge drooping, violet-blue bellflowers appears in summer. For best results grow Campanula 'Sarastro' in moist but well-drained soil in sun to partial shade. Propagate plants by division in autumn or spring.
